For the 2026 campaign, TX Football and Dallas City FC have teamed up to provide tailored, high-performance gear aimed at elevating the team’s on-field ambitions.

Established in Melbourne in 2020, Tradex Co is a wholesale sportswear provider that collaborates closely with football clubs and organisations to deliver fully customised gear, managing the entire process from initial concept through to fit and comfort.

Discussing the new partnership, Founder and CEO of TX Football, Shah Ali Rajput praised Dallas City FC’s passion and collaborative approach.

From the moment we engaged with Dallas FC the committee has been collectively amazing, working alongside us on each items design, theme for all off field merchandise and the vision they are trying to achieve,” he said to Soccerscene.

Dallas City FC President, Atilla Toplu, spoke on the club’s renewed direction and community-driven purpose, outlined the vision guiding Dallas City FC.

“From day one, our vision has been clear: to rebuild the club as a genuine hub for the youth of our community, both boys and girls, and to create an environment where they can grow, develop, and showcase their talent,” he said to Soccerscene.

“This partnership with TX Football is an exciting step forward in that journey. It supports our long-term plan to reshape the culture of the club, strengthen our junior pathways, and provide a professional, structured platform for young players to thrive.

“Dallas City is more than a football club, it’s an arena for our young people to perform, express themselves, and build confidence on and off the pitch.

“We are from this community, and we work for this community. The changes we are bringing focus on reconnecting the club with its roots, delivering stronger development programs, and ensuring that families across Dallas, Broadmeadows, and surrounding areas feel proud of the direction the club is heading in.”

Dallas City FC was re-formed in 2024 with a fresh vision and commitment after the former leadership drifted from the club’s mission and its role in the community.

Last month, the Lombardy-based club announced the start of a new partnership with Connectome, a neurotechnology company now looking to apply their work to Serie A’s most exciting project.

Cognitive and physical performance

Through this innovative alliance at the heart of a rapidly rising football project, players will benefit from enhanced study and understanding of their own cognitive performance.

Repeated brain measurements will allow staff to analyse how players respond to different playing scenarios – from the training pitch to matchday.

“We already measure the physical and tactical aspects of performance at a very high level,” explained Como 1907 CTO, Mo Dabbah, via Connectome’s official website.

“The real opportunity now is in better understanding cognitive load and decision-making over time.”

Furthermore, Dabbah continued to highlight that cognitive analysis is essential to achieving high levels of performance in sport.

“Brain health isn’t a ‘nice to have’, it’s fundamental to how players develop, adapt, and perform and it’s an area we’re excited to explore more deeply.”

 

Transferring data to development

Connectome’s work helps athletes and organisations competing at high levels of sport, ensuring recovery, duty of care and preparation are all at the forefront of operations.

Moreover, through a longitudinal approach to collecting data, Connectome strives to create unique, individual profiles for each athlete. Thus, changes or variations are judged against each individual’s baseline, not group averages or one-off tests.

But beyond the technological innovation, is the genuine intent and vision to maximise player performance at Como 1907.

Como 1907 is a club leading by example not just in Italy, but across Europe for unique business models, commercial growth and strategic partnerships. An alliance with Connectome is yet more proof that the club thinks not just about the 90 minutes on the pitch, but the hours spent on long-term player recovery and development.

Both parties align perfectly in values and vision. Player wellbeing, team growth, and technological advancement are the foundations of this partnership.

Como 1907 is a club pushing the future into today’s football landscape, making Connectome a natural partner to bring that vision to life.

Football West has hosted members of the Papua Football Academy from Indonesia on an eleven-day exchange visit to Perth, marking a significant step in the governing body’s Asian Engagement Strategy and demonstrating football’s capacity to build meaningful cross-cultural relationships across the region.

Supported by the WA Government, the visit brought 60 players aged 13 to 15 from across Papua province to train alongside Football West Academy players and local clubs, including Perth Azzurri and Perth Glory. The group also attended A-League and New Balance NPL WA matches, toured Optus Stadium, visited the WA Institute of Sport, ECU Joondalup and John Curtin College of Arts, and met with the Indonesian Consulate General in Perth.

“Football West is committed to leading football diplomacy in the region, and this program is a great example of football’s power to connect people, build relationships and create genuine pathways,” said Football West Asian Engagement Advisor Robbie Gaspar. “It’s all about the people-to-people connections”.

 

Leading initiatives

Established in 2022 through a partnership between PT Freeport Indonesia and the Football Association of Indonesia, the Papua Football Academy provides high-performance training, education and welfare support for talented young players from one of Indonesia’s most geographically remote provinces. The program has quickly become one of Indonesia’s leading youth development initiatives, with ambitions to build international connections through training camps, matches and partnerships.

Papua Football Academy Director Wolfgang Pikal said the visit had provided his players and coaches with a standard of facilities and competition exposure unavailable at home. “We have nothing like this in Papua,” he said. “It has allowed the coaches to learn something new and for the kids to measure themselves against young players in Perth.”

Pikal flagged hopes of placing two or three players in Perth competitions in the future as the partnership develops.
